After Spike and Fluttershy escaped the mob of girls, they walked around the campus before finding the rest of Fluttershy's group.
"Hey, girls!" Spike called.
Upon seeing the two, the group ran to them. The girls surrounded Fluttershy seeing if she was ok, until Rainbow grabbed Spike by the jacket and pushed him against the buildings wall, "Whoa, a little forceful, huh, Rainbow?"
"Don't act so innocent, pal," Rainbow scowled, "Were you trying to put the moves on Fluttershy? Huh?!"
"Rainbow, let him go!" Fluttershy ordered, as her friend looked at her, "Spike didn't do anything to me."
"But we saw him kissing you." Rainbow noted.
"That was my fault," Pinkie spoke up, "I accidentally slapped his shoulder so hard he fell over on Fluttershy. You know I don't always know my own strength."
"I can vouch for Pinkie's claim, Rainbow. So let Spike go." Sunset said.
Rainbow looked back at Spike contemplating on what to do, until she released him, "Thank you." Spike said.
"Don't mention it." she replied.
"I think we better get back to the dorm before the others get there." Twilight suggested.
"Agreed. I don't wanna deal with another mob chase." Spike said, as the eight headed off.
When they reached the dorm, they went inside seeing the coast was clear, "Thank goodness." Fluttershy sighed in relief.
"Why don't we all have dinner in my dorm room?" Twilight offered.
"Good idea, Twilight." Sunset admitted.
"It's all right by me." Spike added.
"Let's go." Pinkie finished.
They went through the hall before stopping before a room with Twilight's name on it. Twilight unlocked it and they entered.
Spike looked inside seeing the place was loaded with books on both Twilight's desk, and bed. Twilight's room looked more like a library, "You're some housekeeper, Twilight." Spike snarked.
"Sorry, haven't had a chance to tidy up." Twilight said sheepishly.
"Gracious, Twilight, however can you hope to even find anything in this clutter?" Rarity asked in shock.
"Says the girl with a floor cluttered of fabrics." Applejack retorted.
"I told you it's my inspiration room!" Rarity injected, "It helps inspire me."
"Whatevs." Applejack replied.
"Well, why don't we tidy up, before dinner?" Spike offered.
"I agree." Rarity spoke up.
"Ok, then." Twilight said, as they started cleaning up until the room was clean.
"Much better." Rarity said, while looking at the clean environment.
"Thanks, girls," Twilight thanked them, "And, Spike, I'm amazed you stocked all my books so neatly and in the right order too."
"I had a job as a stock clerk last summer at a comic book shop. Stocking became a habit of mine afterward."
"Interesting." Twilight admitted.
"So, what's on the menu?" Rainbow asked.
"Well, let me look," Twilight said, as she looked into her fridge seeing leftover stuff that didn't look like a real meal, "Uh, maybe we should get takeouts."
"No need," Spike said, "I think I can make us something."
"You can?" the girls asked.
"Yeah. I know a family recipe I'd like to share with you all," Spike began, as he wrote up a list, "Of course I'll need some ingredients." he showed them.
"I got some of this stuff in my room." Applejack said.
"So do I." Fluttershy added.
"Then get what you have," Spike instructed, as the two went to their own rooms and came back with some ingredients, "Ok, this will do fine. Ok, now to get busy."
The girls watched as Spike started cooking something in a pot. Each of them watched in amaze as Spike took one ingredient and mixed it with another into the pot. After stirring the contents a couple of times, Spike waited a moment before sniffing it, "Yes! All finished."
"Ooh, let me see, let me see!" Pinkie pleaded.
Spike filled up seven bowls of stew, "Come and get it."
Each girl grabbed a bowl and looked at it, "Looks tasty." Applejack looked at it with delight.
"What is it?" Sunset asked curiously.
"My family's famous Dragon Stew."
"Why do they call it that?" Twilight inquired.
"Taste and see." Spike smirked.
They each took a spoonful of the stew and ate it, "Delicious." Fluttershy admitted, until suddenly the girls eyes widened and panted.
Pinkie however was looking red in the face as steam poured out her ears. She opened her mouth and looked like she breathed fire from it before speaking, "Perfect." she smiled.
"Spicy." Rarity grabbed water and drank it.
"Spicy is right," Rainbow agreed, "Feels like my whole mouth burned off."
"You'll get used to it." Spike assured her.
"Spicy or not, this here stew sure is tasty." Applejack admitted.
"Yeah, your family sure makes a good stew." Sunset added.
"Thanks, girls." Spike replied.
"Well, you should eat too, Spike." Twilight said. Spike nodded as he picked up a bowl himself and ate with his seven new friends.
After finishing their dinner, they all helped in doing the dishes. Spike stood up, "I better turn in now. I'll see you girls tomorrow."
"Night, Spike." they said, as Spike left Twilight's dorm room.
When it was just the girls, everyone turned their attention to Fluttershy who suddenly felt the temperature in the room drop, "Why's everyone looking at me like that?"
"Oh, come now, darling. Surely you saw this coming." Rarity said.
"Saw what?"
"We wanna know." Sunset said.
"How did it feel kissing Spike?" Pinkie asked.
Fluttershy blushed, "Girls, you don't just kiss and tell."
"It ain't fair you got to kiss a boy while we haven't had such a chance." Applejack said.
"Come on, Fluttershy, you can trust us." Rainbow assured her.
Fluttershy took a deep breath to calm herself, "Ok," the girls gathered around, "It happened so fast, but I could tell you this... His lips felt so warm and welcoming. As if all my worries and fears just washed away like a river."
"I'm actually envious of you, Fluttershy." Rarity admitted.
"Me too." Pinkie added.
"But still it was an accident." Fluttershy reminded them.
"Nevertheless, sugarcube. That was and always will be your first kiss." Applejack smirked.
"Congrats, girl." Rainbow playfully ruffled her head, as the shy girl twirled her finger through her hair sheepishly.
"Well, we better turn in as well." Twilight suggested, as they all agreed and headed back for their own rooms making sure Fluttershy got back to her own without running into the other girls.
Inside Spike's room, the male student was showering before bedtime. After his shower, he changed into his sleepwear and turned off his light. As he sat on his bed he contemplated on the events of what happened today.
"I can't believe I already got my first kiss at this school," he began, "Oh, the guys would be so jealous to hear this. Oh, well." he laid on his bed and went to sleep.
The very next morning, Spike and the girls had walked to the school early. As they entered the building they planned to get to the classroom beforehand only to meet Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna who had serious expressions on their faces.
"Good morning, Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna." Twilight greeted them, as the group were curious about their facial expressions.
"Good morning, students." Celestia greeted them, as the two adults eyes turned to Spike and Fluttershy.
"Spike, Fluttershy, may we see the both of you in our office?" Luna requested.
"Uh, ok." Spike answered in confusion while Fluttershy looked worried.
So the two students followed the adults, as the others looked worried, "What do you think that was all about?" Applejack asked.
"Nothing good, I'm sure." Twilight said.
"Let's follow." Rainbow said, as they trailed the principals and their friends to the office. They went to the door and pressed their ears to it hearing the conversation.
Inside the office, Celestia and Luna were sitting at their desks as the two students stood before them. Celestia began, "Spike, I know I may have cracked a bit of humor when telling you not to go wild with the students, but I expected you to take the warning part of it more seriously."
"I don't understand." Spike answered, but knew what she was getting at.
Luna spoke up, "We received an anonymous tip that you and Ms. Fluttershy were caught fooling around on school grounds yesterday afternoon."
"What?!" the two students gasped in outrage.
"Is this true?" Celestia inquired.
"Principal Celestia, there's been an obvious mistake," Spike began, "Fluttershy and I were not fooling around."
"He's right it was just one kiss." Fluttershy added, before covering her mouth at that slip up.
Spike's eyes widened as he looked at the adults, as Celestia spoke, "Even so, a simple act like that is still prohibited on school grounds."
"But it was an accident!" Spike pleaded, only for Luna to raise a hand to silence him.
"I'm sorry, Spike, but unless you or Fluttershy have evidence that proves otherwise, I'm afraid my sister and I will have to enforce a form of punishment..."
"What?" the two students gasped.
"We're sorry. But action must be taken for the sake of our school's reputation." Celestia apologized, until the door opened and the girls fell into the room.
"Girls?" Spike and Fluttershy asked.
"What is the meaning of this?" Celestia inquired, while crossing her arms.
Sunset spoke up, "Please, ma'am, it wasn't Spike or Fluttershy's fault."
"We're listening." Luna said, as she folded her hands as the two heard Sunset out.
"It was my doing," Pinkie spoke up, "We just finished giving Spike the tour of the school yesterday and I put a little too much force in my shoulder slap on Spike and he fell forward onto Fluttershy resulting in their accidental kiss. You know I can't control my own strength."
"And I can vouch for Pinkie." Sunset added.
The two principals remained curious about their pleas, until Twilight spoke up, "I support Sunset Shimmer's claim. We've gotten to know Spike and he doesn't appear the type of take advantage of girls."
"Yeah, he's as docile as tamed pig." Applejack added, while Spike gave her a look.
The two ladies looked between Spike and Fluttershy, before they looked at each other. Celestia and Luna sighed, as the older sister spoke, "Very well. We believe you."
"Really?" Spike and Fluttershy gasped in joy.
"However," Luna spoke up, "We must once again remind you, Spike, that to make this experiment work you are to behave yourself as best as you are capable of."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Because we don't want to have to receive calls or letters of complaints from our students parents about any mishaps and such like what happened between you and Fluttershy." Celestia explained.
"I understand." Spike answered, knowing how important it is.
"And the same goes for you too, Fluttershy," Luna added, "In fact, all of you for that matter."
"Yes, ma'am." the girls answered.
"We'll overlook this matter, but we expect better behavior from this point on." Celestia said.
Spike nodded, as Luna spoke, "Now then, if there's no more matters to deal with you must go to class."
"Hold up," Spike said, catching the adults attention, "I have some matters to discuss with the both of you." The group of girls were curious about what spike needed, as the principals decided to hear him out.
"You may speak." Celestia granted him permission.
"It's about Phys. Ed," Spike began, "I understand it's taboo of me to change or shower along side the girls. But I must protest on the stall I'm given to use by the shed. It's so cramped in there I can barely even lift my arms! Furthermore I find it very embarrassing to rush all the way from there and back to the lockers to change while wrapped in a towel." the girls blushed at the thought of that.
"And what do you want us to do about that?" Luna inquired.
"At least get me access to a better shower, and a better room close to the lockers for me to change in and out of." Spike requested in his best respectable tone.
The two sisters looked at each other before Celestia answered, "We'll look into that and get back to you."
"Thank you." Spike thanked them.
"Is there anything else you need to discuss?" Luna inquired.
"No, ma'am. Nothing."
"Very well, off to class now, all of you." Celestia dismissed them. The group nodded, before taking their leave.
Outside the office, the group were on their way to class, as Spike let out a huge sigh of relief, "That could've gone a whole lot worse."
"Be thankful it didn't." Twilight replied.
"I'm just glad we didn't get into trouble." Fluttershy sighed in relief.
"But you two are on radar now that they were told what happened." Rainbow reminded them.
"Well, all I have to do is not have any more mishaps like that on school grounds and things should blow over." Spike said.
"Maybe between you, Fluttershy, and the principals, but what about the other girls?" Applejack wondered.
"Applejack's right, one or more of them had to have been the ones to rat on you." Twilight feared.
"I say we interrogate them all until we find our rat." Rainbow punched her fists together.
"Ooh, can I play good cop?" Pinkie let out a squee.
"Girls, we're not going to interrogate every student," Twilight began, "Let's just brush it off and move on." Rainbow pouted at the loss of a chance to do interrogating.
They entered the classroom to see their fellow students there. All eyes turned on them but the glares were focused solely on Spike and Fluttershy.
"If it isn't the snake in the grass." Adagio accused Fluttershy.
"What?" she gasped.
"Don't play Ms. Innocent with us." Trixie spoke up.
"Yeah, we all saw you putting the moves on Spike." Aria added.
"I wasn't..."
"Don't talk your way out of it." Sonata interrupted her.
"Enough!" Twilight shouted, drawing their attention, "Fluttershy did not put the moves on Spike, nor did Spike to her."
"And if yall have anything to say about it, then take it up with us." Applejack challenged them.
"Because we would love it." Rainbow added, while rubbing her fists together. The girls decided to back off, mostly because class was starting and didn't want to make a scene.
The day went by as is did yesterday, but Spike still struggled with the problems of Phys. Ed being his narrow shower, and changing outside the locker room.
When the group went to their lockers, Spike opened his up and to his surprise saw a whole pile of red and pink envelopes fall out of his locker, "What the?"
"Someone filled your locker up." Pinkie said.
"I know." Spike answered dryly before he picked one up and opened it. He looked at the letter inside it and his eyes widened.
"What is it, Spike?" Applejack asked.
Pinkie snatched the letter he was holding and read it, "I feel there is a deep connection between us as if we were meant to be. Love, Lyra."
"That's a love letter." Rarity gasped.
"So's this one," Rainbow said, as she read another of the letters found in Spike's locker, "You and I would make absolutely beautiful music together. Love, Octavia."
Twilight read one, "We both wouldn't mind getting to know you a little more in case you wanted to hang out with us. Love, Flitter and Cloudchaser."
"This is a lot of love letters." Sunset said, seeing how many more were on the ground.
"I better look at these elsewhere." Spike said, as he started putting all the letters in his backpack.
"Are you going to read them all?" Applejack asked.
"Only to see what kind of stuff they wrote. Not because I'm interested." he answered.
"Really?" Rainbow crossed her arms in skepticism.
"Ok, maybe a little bit of interest." the girls shook their heads.
"What? This kind of thing never happened to me before!" Spike protested.
"Just remember if you're not careful you could be expelled from here." Twilight warned him.
"I'm aware of that, Twilight, and I will be careful." he finished stuffing his bag with all the letters.
"I hope so." Twilight replied.
"SPIKE!" a group of girls voices called out.
Spike looked and saw a majority of the students like yesterday around a corner, rushing over in their directions, "Uh-oh! Here we go again. Later, girls!" Spike ran for it, as the other girls chased after him hoping to get responds to the love letters they sent him.
"Oh, dear." Fluttershy gasped.
"I hope he'll be ok." Rarity said in worry.
"Let's make sure he is," Rainbow suggested, "Come on, girls!" she ran after the mob, and the rest of the group followed her.
